Abstract

A network system may include a first communication device, a second communication device composed separately from the first communication device and an address database. The first communication device may include a first access device. The first access device may be capable of accessing a network address. The address database may store the network address accessed by the first access device. The second communication device may include a telephone device, an address acquisition device and a second access device. The address acquisition device may acquire the network address from the address database in a case where the telephone device receives an incoming call. The second access device may be capable of accessing the network address acquired by the address acquisition device.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1. A network system, comprising:
 a first communication device; 
 a second communication device composed separately from the first communication device; and 
 a server composed separate from the first communication device, wherein the first communication device comprises:
 a first access device capable of accessing a network address, and 
 an address sending device that sends a combination of the network address accessed by the first access device and communication device identification information of the first communication device to the server; 
 
 wherein the server comprises:
 an address database that stores the combination of the network address and the communication device identification information sent from the address sending device, 
 an identification information database that stores a combination of the communication device identification information and telephone identification information of a source, and 
 an identification information identifying device; 
 
 wherein the second communication device comprises:
 a telephone device that receives the telephone identification information, 
 an address acquisition device that acquires the network address from the address database when the telephone device receives an incoming call, and 
 a second access device capable of accessing the network address acquired by the address acquisition device; 
 wherein the identification information identifying device identifies, from the identification information database, the communication device identification information combined with the telephone identification information received by the telephone device; and 
 wherein the address acquisition device acquires, from the address database, the network address combined with the communication device identification information identified by the identification information identifying device. 
 
 
     
     
       2. The network system as in  claim 1 , wherein:
 the server is separate from the second communication device; 
 the second communication device further comprises a telephone identification information sending device that sends the telephone identification information received by the telephone device to the server; 
 the identification information identifying device identifies, from the identification information database, the communication device identification information combined with the telephone identification information sent from the telephone identification information sending device; 
 the server further comprises an address identifying device that identifies, from the address database, the network address combined with the communication device identification information identified by the identification information identifying device, and a server side address sending device that sends the network address identified by the address identifying device to the second communication device; and 
 the address acquisition device acquires the network address by receiving the network address sent from the server side address sending device. 
 
     
     
       3. The network system as in  claim 1 , wherein:
 the address database cumulatively stores network addresses accessed by the first access device, the network addresses combined with the communication device identification information of the first communication device; 
 the address acquisition device acquires the network addresses stored in the address database in the case where the telephone device receives the incoming call; 
 the second communication device further comprises a displaying device that displays the network addresses acquired by the address acquisition device, and a selecting device that allows a user to select at least one network address displayed on the displaying device; and 
 the second access device accesses the selected network address. 
 
     
     
       4. The network system as in  claim 3 , wherein:
 when the network addresses acquired by the address acquisition device includes first network addresses corresponding to a search result of a search engine and the other network addresses, the displaying device displays the first network addresses and the other network addresses in a distinguishable manner. 
 
     
     
       5. The network system as in  claim 4 , wherein:
 the first communication device further comprises an address identification information adding device that adds address identification information to the network address accessed by the first access device, the address identification information indicates whether the network address corresponds to the search result of the search engine; and 
 the displaying device displays the first network addresses and the other network addresses in the distinguishable manner based on the address identification information added to each network address. 
 
     
     
       6. The network system as in  claim 5 , wherein:
 the first communication device further comprises a search result format list that stores a plurality of patterns of a character string indicating search results of search engines; 
 when the network address accessed by the first access device includes any character string stored in the search result format list, the address identification information adding device adds the address identification information to the network address. 
 
     
     
       7. The network system as in  claim 1 , wherein:
 the first communication device further comprises an operating device; and 
 when the first access device accesses a network address and the operating device is operated by a user to perform a predetermined operation, the address database stores the network address. 
 
     
     
       8. The network system as in  claim 1 , wherein:
 the second communication device further comprises a printing device capable of printing information existing on the network address accessed by the second access device. 
 
     
     
       9. A network system, comprising:
 a first communication device; 
 a second communication device separate from the first communication device; and 
 a server composed separately from the first communication device, 
 wherein the first communication device comprises:
 a first access device capable of accessing a network address, 
 an input device that allows a user to input user identification information, and 
 an address sending device that sends a combination of the network address accessed by the first access device and the user identification information input to the input device to the server; 
 
 wherein the server comprises:
 an address database that stores the combination of the network address and the user identification information sent from the address sending device, 
 an identification information database that stores a combination of the user identification information and telephone identification information of a source, and 
 an identification information identifying device; 
 
 wherein the second communication device comprises:
 a telephone device that receives the telephone identification information, 
 an address acquisition device that acquires the network address from the address database when the telephone device receives an incoming call, and 
 a second access device capable of accessing the network address acquired by the address acquisition device, 
 
 wherein the identification information indentifying device indentifies, from the identification information database, the user identification information combined with the telephone identification information received by the telephone device, and 
 wherein the address acquisition device acquires, from the address database, the network address combined with the user identification information identified by the identification information identifying device.
